I'm trying to get a good understanding of the longevity of being a medical assistant. It is often recommended to treat being a medical assistant as an entry level job to other bedside or administrative roles, but I'm curious if anybody here has worked as a medical assistant for many years or if they have pivoted into management or academic roles.

I’ve been a CNA for three and a half years now. I’ve worked in memory care, assisted living, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and home health. I feel like I’ve done all I can do as a CNA. So I applied as a Patient Care Tech in the Emergency Room at a major hospital near me. Signed the offer letter today. I have never worked in a hospital before. Any advice?
